Lullaby (the Divorce Song)

Hush little girl
Sweet baby don't cry
Tonight
Daddy is here and he'll sing you a soft lullaby
Tonight
Why can't it all be like it was before?
How can I explain why mommy's not here anymore?

'Cuz daddy likes porno and ten dollar whores
Daddy gets wasted and robs liquor stores
Daddy likes rubbing against little boys on the bus
I think that's why mommy left us
Mommy left us

Hush little girl
There is no reason to fret
Tonight
Don't mind the smoke
Daddy just wants to forget
Tonight
Soon it will all be like it was before
Any minute she will walk through that front door

But daddy plays poker and drinks lots of beer
Then he wants sex that involves mommy's rear
Daddy has sores on his naughty parts oozing with puss
I think that's why your mommy left us

Please don't cry
I swear I'll try
To be here by your side

Right after daddy gets home from the bar
Visits his bookie
And steals a new car
He'll drive to the strip club
And if daddy plays cards right
He'll bring home your new mommy tonight
